This bead is almost all ASK glass with the exception of the dot of Double Helix Kronos for the heart and Effetre Black near he ends. This bead luckily survived. Other beads that had a mix of Effetre, Double Helix silver glass and ASK had varying results. Some cracked, some didn't. The smaller beads had a larger chance of surviving.....
This glass is so pretty--the way it reacts with other glass and with the silver glass. I have read that Arrow Springs not only had problems with the clear being compatible, but also some batches of certain colors. This makes it important to test each batch of Kugler before using it in a bead, or heartache and money/time will be lost. Wish all glass was compatible with each other--wouldn't that be cool to be able to mix boro and soda lime? :-D
Ahhh....at least I can dream....
